check the overhead electronic panels at the entry barriers for any messages to drivers;

to collect your ticket, use normal or dual lanes that allow for all vehicles to pass through regardless how they will be paying for the toll when exiting the motorway (dedicated Telepass lanes, on the other hand, must only be used by Telepass holders). The speed limit of 30 km/h must not be exceeded in the entry lanes.

as long as no-one is injured and to the extent possible, move the vehicles to a safe position (hard shoulder or lay-by). Otherwise, immediately get away from the vehicle and stand behind a guardrail (beware of steep slopes); position the warning triangle at least 50 metres away and turn on the vehicle's hazard lights;

use an SOS station or telephone to contact the emergency services.

If you are not directly involved but you come across an accident:

do not use the hard shoulder unless you are 500 m before an exit;

drive along respecting the limits put in place using warning signs and avoid slowing down to “have a look”.
